and buy the way ( and i am not sure )
i think u can hit p=options and change things in there
dunno about a controller

Tomb Raider was developed to all kinds of platforms at the samt time and not exclusive to PC. And even on PC you had an option to map windows controllers etc. So it was "meant" to be played with the controller you prefer, not keyboard only

But of course most of the pc players will stick with keyboard and most of the console players (Like myself) will stick with a pad. But that doesn't mean it is the "correct" way of doing it

Regarding the controller issue here, I need more info. I use a ps2 controller myself with a usb converter etc. A ps3 controller should work to from what I have heard but never tried it myself. It is probably a driver issue.

Exactly. In addition, if you search the level in the data base, "The Ring" was built with the TR4 engine and the TR4 games have an option in the configuration menu to change between "keyboard" and "joystick" options.

More info:

I have Windows 7 -64 bits- as OS and I use the PS3 controller to play.

I don't think the problem is a driver issue, because when I connected the controller the first time, Windows installed the driver automatically.

Moreover I should say (I don't know if this could be helpful or not) that I have used two differents programs and both of them make the same error:

I can't push two buttons at the same time (for example, if you are climbed and you want to jump) or at 10 minutes or similar Lara starts to walk by herself... O.O!

I play with a PS2 controller connected via USB just like QRS and have no problems playing the custom levels, but I have run into that very same problem (no pun intended) when I tried to play TR Chronicles on PC. Would be very interested to know what causes this.
